The first principle that you are going to learn in your study of your Tai Chi Chuan Essentials is called xū líng dǐng jìn, which means 'Suspending the Body from the Crown of the Head'.
This is the first step in relaxing structurally and it connects you, it connects the whole body to the heavens above and the earth below, sort of giving you a sense of being bigger than just the confines of your physical body.
The upward intention allows you to let everything else relax and let go.
Now here is how to do it. First thing is to suspend your head from the top as if you are being drawn up by a string.
So if I tie a string to the top of her head and lift if up and we get taller and taller, now that string is going to hold you up and everything else can relax below it.
The second thing you can do is elongate the back of the neck, so the back of the neck gets longer and longer. This will cause the chin to float in just a little bit, but you don't have to pull the chin in just make the back of the neck longer.
And finally, always imagine that you are floating. As if your head is a balloon filled with helium, when the balloon goes up the rest of the body can go down.
The benefits of this kind of proper alignment is that it bring your spine into neutral. Now the neutral spine is the best position for better energy circulation, and it is also the optimal position for increased mobility, flexibility and strength which are essentials in your study of Tai Chi Chuan.
I myself have been doing Tai Chi for about 6 years now my sifu is a 7th generation grandmaster I absolutely love it he gave me a something and said you have gift of Tai Chi he says you lack upper straingth I was very honored by his gift he gave me
Выпрямиться не достаточно, еще нужно вниманием соединиться с небом и землей. Без этого не будет, того, что Вы говорите !
Xu ling Ding Jin is a principle that - like many principles - contains a clue to the method. Ding Jin means "a powerful outcome at the top of the head." The outcomes of the Tai Chi principle are always understood to be Qi flowing - and the ideal is powerful Qi flow - in this case to the Bai Hui point - the spot of "100 connections." But how to get it? The clue in the principle is "Xu ling" - basically "empty and perky." No tension, and no thinking - yet alert and energetic. So the idea is not so much to lift or push your head upward or drop your body downward. It is that Xu Ling leaves you feeling a bit like your head is floating.
Xie xie, this is a very good description, I have heard of this principle a thousand times yet you root it very well in both tangible understanding of Qi and the linguistic context. Happy New Year!
Thank you

Hmmmm very interesting but where’s jet lee???
Hmmm... So am I right when I use the basic stans I used in Karate and Pilates here, too? (Head 'at a string' , breast region pushed forward, stomach region pulling in and hips curled forward.)
I adapted it immediately just out of habit and now I'm not sure if that was the best option xD
Like as if I tried to flatten myself with my back against a wall. (I really did that when I first went to a yoga class to get a feeling of it xD).
I hope I can translate what I mean, English is not my mother tongue.
Cool
wow who is she.... beautiful...
